When I saw this short story collection, Afraid of the Shadows, mentioned at a recent online book event I watched I knew that I wanted to include it as part of the blogiversary celebrations especially seeing as it's Halloween weekend and that the profits are being donated to charities.
STORIES THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT
Crime fighting duo, Tilly and Poe solve a mystery from inside a pantomime horse in an exclusive short by Gold Dagger winner, M.W. Craven. A psychopath takes Trick or Treating a step too far. And a woman's dream of a quiet life is shattered by a knock on the door.
Afraid Of The Shadows is a collection of gripping- sometimes funny, always spooky- short stories from some of the biggest names in crime fiction.
From possessed sweaters to creepy wardrobes and disco shape shifters, there’s something for everyone in this Halloween bucket of short story goodies making it the perfect companion to snuggle up with as the nights draw in. Though be warned, you might want to leave the lights on...
Profits from the sale of Afraid Of The Shadows will be donated to various charities including Rights of Women, ESDAS and Barnardo's.

I have decided to use the gift an eBook option on Amazon to send a copy of this collection to two followers of the blog. The giveaway will run for 48 hours and the winners will be selected on Monday and eBooks ordered (sadly you can only gift eBooks to someone living in the same country as you which means it will need to be restricted to residents in the UK only).
*Terms and Conditions* – As with all giveaways on the blog the giveaway is open to existing followers. The winner will be selected at random via Rafflecopter from all valid entries and will be notified by email and/or Twitter. Any personal data given as part of the competition entry is used for this purpose only and will not be shared with third parties and will be deleted once receipt of the prize has been confirmed. NB. Please do not add details of this giveaway to other sites without my permission.
